A sensitive and intimate portrait of Ivanna, a nomadic reindeer herder in the Russian Arctic and mother of five small kids. Ivanna is forced to leave the traditional way of life and emigrate to the city, following her own dreams, due to the quickly deteriorating conditions of life in the tundra. We follow her life for several years.

Green lights dance across a star-filled sky, and snowflakes sparkle on the trees. It is little wonder Lapland is famous as a realm of elves and flying reindeer, the magical home of Santa Claus. This northernmost region of mainland Europe, however, is a real place, with real animals such as reindeer, Great Gray owls, wolverines, eagles, wolves, musk oxen and Brown bears who live out their lives in the tundra and forest.

A critical look at the human-nature relationship in the tundra.

Η ταινία είναι εμπνευσμένη από τη σύγχρονη ζωή των αυτοχθόνων κατοίκων της αρκτικής Νορβηγίας, των Σάμι. Δύο παράλληλες ιστορίες ξεδιπλώνουν σταδιακά την καθημερινή ζωή δύο πολύ διαφορετικών ανθρώπων: της 86χρονης Σάρα και του επτάχρονου Μίκα, οι οποίοι ζουν στην Guovdageaidnu, στη μέση της νορβηγικής αρκτικής τούνδρας.
